I think it makes total sense. For one, it's clearly one of those online campaigns and probably not something that ends up on the commercial break during 60 Minutes. Second, if millenials (yes, depsite the 80s motif this is clearly aimed at millenials or at least young Gen Xers) don't buy the Mustang, in ten years, no one will.
 
At first I was :odd:, but then I

One thing is clear though, they are not aiming for the typical 40 plus white male demographic. The video despite its retro feel is aimed at today's young adults. Personally, I'm happy that Ford is going more towards European/ Japanese sports cars feel than the typical pony/muscle car thing.

It's failing.

I guess this car shrunk more than we all thought. Wow.

That picture is misleading. The new car is parked farther forward and the "fish eye" effect of the camera further distorts the size comparison.

I've seen several in person. They are not small cars, even compared to older generation Mustangs.

Don't draw too much conclusion from that photo. It's an off angle, the cars opposing colors can cause an illusion, and the 2015 looks like it's pulled up further - we already know it's longer than the current car.
 
From what I saw at the H.A.S., the new Mustang looked as wide as the outgoing Mustang.

Odd, the more I look at the rear of that 2015, the more it reminds me of the first Mustang. There's just something about it that gives me that original Mustang vibe to it. Maybe it's the tailights or the shape.

The taillights are almost an exact copy of the ones off 1969 models. Roofline is almost identical as well, all the way down to the ducktail spoiler. Whats odd about that picture is that the pony in the rear has the tri-bar, not seen on ANY other 2015 Mustang.

The new Mustang may be bigger than the outgoing model, but the styling really hides the size, while the facelifted version of the previous generation looked absolutely enormous, a lot bigger than it actually was.

Also, I've grown to really like the back of the new Mustang. I still don't like the headlights but the arse on that thing is perfect.

It looks OK from the back, but direct side view I just can't get over the area with the taillights that bulges out. Just doesn't look right.
 
Hopefully it's something the facelift fixes in a few years.

How about that, styled like my favorite year of the Mustang.
